Yeah. After the attack on the Pulse nightclub, rainbow flags popped up everywhere. After the attacks in France, French flags appeared. Tumblr's log-in page showed a Turkish flag after the failed coup there.
This was the largest mass murder attack in Japan since the end of WW2. And I have seen no similar outpouring of grief for these victims.
And you want to know another twisted detail?
July 26th, 2016 was the 26th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act
I know America is not really the center of the world. And I don't expect people in other countries to pay attention to (or even care about) specific dates in American legislative history.
...But considering the fact that this was a clearly premeditated act committed by someone trying to send a political, ideological, message, I can't help but wonder if he picked the date deliberately.
Which makes the fact that this dropped out of the news so quickly even more disturbing.
